Give a Gold Star to AmyAmyAmy
Yes I believe in general that the LW has to let it go. I even think that it's possible that the old lady quite likes the Oleander.
However, I think AmyAmyAmy's idea to ask for some of the plants herself is brilliant. The Crank Across the Street (CAS) will be furious, but have no recourse, and just by asking if the old lady wouldn't mind giving up a few of the Oleanders, LW can know whether she likes them or not. (And if she does LW can feel relieved.)
But really, that's a revenge from *you* to the CAS. I don't blame you, bt it is butting in. She seems to deserve it though. Sounds like the old lady has been there a long time. Did CAS not see the eye-sore when she moved in? Did she assume the lady would clean it up for her? Did it allow hurt the property value when SHE bought her house?
